REAL LIFE NEWS: SEE, I TOLD YOU COFFEE WAS GOOD FOR YOU!

Coffee makes you live longer, according to a new study.
Researchers looked at almost 20,000 people living in the Mediterranean with an average age of 37, who drank at least four cups of coffee a day, quizzing them about their lifestyle, health and coffee-drinking habits. They were then followed up for years, during which time 337 of them died.
Comparing this group of people with those who never or rarely drank coffee, they found that dedicated coffee-lovers had a 64% lower risk of dying early.
The longevity benefits of coffee appeared to be highest for people who were 45 or older, so whatever is going on makes coffee more beneficial for us as we age.
The conclusion, as explained by lead researcher and cardiologist Dr Adela Navarro, is that: “Our findings suggest that drinking four cups of coffee each day can be part of a healthy diet in healthy people.”
I’ll put the kettle on.
